OK, we're going to get started around 9 AM. The following needs to be done on my car, we can do it all, or some.

1. Hook up electrical to engine, hook up starter, battery.
2. Get fuel tank in and fuel lines connected to engine
3. fill brake fluid and bleed brakes. adjust brake shoes
4. remove windshield, install new windshield
5. install resistor for windshield wiper motor
6. install 12v bulbs in turn signals/rear lights
7 make the apron 'removeable' so it's a bolt on
8. finish installing rear fenders

i'm sure there's more. we'll see tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for coming out. We got the fuel lines hooked up. We figured out that I did a few things wrong :x :help:

Got the new throttle cable hooked up. We removed the windshield and then realized that I had the wrong one to replace it. So, if anyone has the windshield for a 65, I'm interested.

We didn't get the car running, but we did get some things done.

Thanks again Ethan and Courtney for letting us use your place to work on the cars.
